Alaska Conservation Foundation Internship Program
ACF's Board of Trustees believes that it is possible to achieve broader support for conservation in Alaska by offering career-oriented educational experiences to graduate and undergraduate college students in Alaska and throughout the United States. Students participating in this highly competitive internship program are provided with a unique opportunity to:
* Learn firsthand about Alaska's magnificent natural environment and diverse cultures.
* Help preserve and protect Alaska's pristine environment by working with a host organization representing the state or federal government, the private sector, or a non-profit arena.
* Gain important and practical job skills in the conservation field while also helping your host organization meet its conservation program goals.
* Obtain college credit if approved by an accredited university.
* Meet and network with Alaska conservationists, agency personnel, local Alaskans, and other interns.
* Become mentors and sources of information for other students interested in Alaska conservation issues.
* Contribute to the protection of Alaska's resources and environment by completing an internship project that addresses important Alaska conservation needs.
It is ACF's hope that each of the students selected as an intern will choose a career path in conservation and make a long-term commitment to preserving and protecting the pristine environment and diverse cultures of the Great Land.
